Why Bother?

I watched Lance Lynn do his thing again, this time giving up four first-inning runs on two two-run homers, setting the White Sox on their way to a 5-1 loss to the Dodgers on the road. I went to bed early and left the rest for TIVO. The box score has Rick Hahn’s fingerprints all over it—Lynn four earned runs over five innings, which pretty much explains his 4-7 record and 6.75 ERA; four more homerless at-bats for Andrew Benintendi, now giving him 230 for the season and counting; one pity hit for Yoan Moncada (no one covering first on a grounder to second base), who’s now hitting .232 and has one homerun since April 2nd; another missed game for the chronically injured Eloy Jimenez; plus ten strikeouts scattered through the order. It doesn’t get much worse than this, until you realize Hahn still has a job and that’s his pick managing in the dugout. Now it’s worse.
